!Disroot Community Hi, I just moved over here with my channel(s). I have one remark: when I view the plugin NoFed settings, I see federation is disabled. Or maybe it is enabled, but the buttons show disabled. A bit confusing.

You'll find various options for what to include in the network widgets in settings/features . I'm not certain about #2 as I'm not sure what you mean by "compressed" in this context. About the only modification normally done is to "undo" any linked tags and mentions and add bookmarks to links. Undoing mentions is slightly unusual as it uses the profile url instead of the webbie, but both work the same.

Oh hang on, the list elements include an extra line feed or something like that automatically and we had to strip linefeeds from list elements in source so that your lines weren't all doublespaced. Probably not hard to fix but it's hard to fix without breaking old content.

On 20 June, the European Parliament will vote on the Copyright Directive. Members of the parliament are the only ones that can stand in the way of bad copyright legislation. Tell them you need them to protect your Internet against surveillance and censorship machines!

We are trying to make a Hubzilla mobile app for android.The idea is to hack dandelion* to make it work for Hubzilla. So we cloned it and started this project. We need to replace the endpoints, png's, icons and probably some other things.Whoever feels to help is welcome, the project is on framagit https://framagit.org/massimiliano/AndHub

For the one who are waiting for a mobile app, hang on and hope that the expectations won't be to high.

Microsoft has recently held talks to buy GitHub, reviving on-and-off conversations the two have had for years, according to people close to the companies.

The talks have come as GitHub, a popular platform for software developers, has struggled to hire a new CEO.

GitHub was last valued at $2 billion in 2015, thanks to a $250 million funding round led by Sequoia Capital, and it is doing well financially, multiple people tell us. But the price tag for an acquisition could be $5 billion or more, and it's not clear that Microsoft is willing to pay that much. It's also not clear whether the talks are ongoing.

I've been confident for a long time that it's only a matter of time before GitHub becomes a net "negative force" on the web. Most of us haven't been too worried because the git system is already decentralized so data is not held hostage by the GitHub platform, and everything has been explicitly public for non-paying members. The main issue is that so many software projects rely on it, and there there is a strong network effect as with any other successful social networking platform. When GitHub begins doing unethical things, people will tolerate it for a long time as they have with Facebook. We can only hope that some federated protocol system like Zot or ActivityPub will be able to connect independent sites running the likes of GitLab or Gogs so that developers can continue to benefit from the social networking aspects without being trapped in yet another prison.

- Make a new block,- Choose HTML instead of BBcode, give it the name 'todon' and as title 'Mastodon'.- Paste in the text field: <iframe allowfullscreen sandbox="allow-top-navigation allow-scripts" width="300" height="12000" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://www.mastofeed.com/api/feed?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftodon.nl%2Fusers%2Fmanuel.atom&theme=light&size=80&header=false"></iframe>- Save- Go to https://hubzilla.nl/pdledit and click on 'channel'- Add [block]todon[/block] between [widget=notifications][/widget] and [/region]- Save

No, it's not something that belongs in a theme. Like Mario said: a custom widget can do the trick. In Wordpress you have the option (maybe it's a plugin) to add a sidebar widget with iframe content (like a Twitter feed). Something like that would be great for Hubzilla too. So hopefully someone finds the time to code this.

Mike Macgirvin is a personal friend, and a force to be reckoned with. Living on a farm in the hills of Australia, he has quietly spent his days carving out an elaborate system from scratch, doing the bulk of the work himself.

Over the past decade in particular, he has pushed the boundaries of a next-generation communication platform, restlessly experimenting and taking notes, often inventing his own solutions to complex problems.

This interview is the first part of our interview series, Faces of the Federation.

Upgrading PHP to 7.1 didn't fix the memory/performance issues we have between 6AM and 9AM (CEST). We did a lot of research and the only cause we could find was that it is related to #Diaspora.

So we are very sorry to inform you that we are going to (temporary) disable the Diaspora protocol. This also means #Friendica can't be reached anymore (cause we are using the Diaspora protocol to connect).

The Diaspora protocol will be disabled today at midnight Utrecht time (CEST)

With 'temporary' we mean that we are going to try it again when the new stable version 2.8 is released. If that still doesn't work, we are are going to retry it with version 3.0, etc, etc. So you can keep you Diaspora accounts (they will probably be archived, but you can re-archive them when we try again).

There are a three options for you:

Forget Diaspora for now and wait for the next try when Hubzilla 2.8 is released.

Clone or migrate your channel to another hub and federate with Diaspora from there.
